Corsair Obsidian 650D Review

Since its inception, the Obsidian Series has been highly regarded amongst hardware enthusiasts. High quality construction and plentiful array of features mark it as a firm favourite for those who demand the best. The 800D in particular has been a case that many water-cooling devotees have favoured.

Having two full tower cases within the range has certainly satisfied the high-end market but what about mid-range? Well today we will be looking at the new 650D. This is a mid-tower case, offering all the features of the 800D but in a smaller shell. Not everyone favours a full tower case, many have been waiting for this 650D – the smaller brother to the 800D.

Some of its key benefits include – dual 200mm fans, 8 PCI expansion slots, support for dual 120mm liquid cooling radiators and an external SATA 6G docking station to allow access to 2.5”/3.5” drives. With many more features to take advantage of let’s begin our analysis of this exciting new release from Corsair.

Corsair’s take on the Obsidian 650D:

The Obsidian Series 650D mid-tower case is manufactured with strong, stamped steel parts for increased rigidity, and coated in a black textured paint. The front panel features a beautiful black brushed aluminum faceplate to bring a subtle elegance to your next build.
